I was terminated without cause after 4yrs. I was given a cheque equaling 4 wks pay after taxes. I was given no reason for the termination other than " it wasnt working for him anymore". From reading this forums questions it seems like it was not enough money. If somebody could set me straight on this it would be appreciated
Thanks

Hello,
Employers may terminate employees at any time, without even have to provide a reason why, as long as it is on a without cause basis. If you have worked there for 4 years you are entitled to 4 weeks of termination pay under the Employment Standards Act. However, if you do not have an enforceable termination clause in your employment contracting restricting you to the minimums under the Employment Standards Act than you would likely be entitled to more under the common law. I definitely recommend contacting our office to schedule a free phone consult with one of our lawyers to assess your matter further.
